Elie Saab's Floating Luminosity

Elie Saab created a mythical wonderland of delicate elegance for his spring couture collection, allowing the designs to fly gracefully down the runway, a vision of ethereal, glistening lustre. The luminous collection featured a wondrous array of pastel hues and despite the intricate detail used to create an illusion of glimmering shine, the designs were all but floating, exuding an aura of freedom and weightless elegance. The collection, with the exception of one oversized floral print, embodied a pallet of muted, block colours taking its audience on a journey through a pale, but exquisitely beautiful interpretation of the rainbow. Elie Saab created a true ideal weightless, floaty, luminosity allowing his audience to be transported to a mystical world of pastel hues and shimmering gloss.
